UBC’s Point Grey Campus is located on the traditional, ancestral, unceded territory of the Musqueam people. The land it is situated on has always been a place of learning for the Musqueam people, who for millennia have passed on in their culture, history, and traditions from one generation to the next on this site.

Memorandum of Affiliation

The Musqueam Indian Band and the University of British Columbia have a long history of partnership. This was strengthened in December 2006 with the signing of a historic memorandum of affiliation. As a result, a number of initiatives between the University and the Musqueam Indian Band have resulted.
